They're in their second years (technically third for Randle). Not everyone is going to set the world on fire immediately like LeBron or Durant out of the gate.

No point in constantly bashing Dlo or others. We know who likes him or thinks he has elite skills or thinks he needs more time to develop vs. who doesn't think Dlo is the "one"
Nobody's mind will change via constant anti Dlo posts
My biggest concern is his knee. At the end of the day, he's our PG that we invested in and used a #2 pick on let's hope he's not Brandon Roy 2.0

Still dying at nobody wanting to pay a 27 yr old guard who is in his prime averaging 28, 5 & 4 on 48% from the floor, but we're paying a corpse 18 mil per.
Demar is getting 26, Deng is getting 18 .......
but Demar is "Trash"

I'M Not gonna lie like he was my first option, or i thought he was a savior... but at the time i was just considering spending the money on veteran short term deals.. but considering we locked in Mogz & Deng for 4 years and spent 34 mil + to do it i would have been ALL in on demar.

Precisely. The Lakers are about bringing in ELITE LEVEL franchise players. And Russell and Randle aren't that.
If you want to settle for mediocrity, go ahead and keep Randle and Russell.
As long as I've been a Lakers fan, you look at all of our championships and there is one single common denominator in all of those teams - ELITE SUPERSTARS lead them.
The Lakers have to get the type of talent that are on that Durant/Lebron/Shaq/Kobe/KG/Duncan level. Cousins and maybe even Paul George are very close to that.

Laker exceptionalism is too much.
Everything goes in cycles. Right now the franchise is on the bottom. It happens. Winning is difficult.

Cousins isn't the Laker exceptionalism you're thinking of.
He could be a piece. But THE piece

Very little volatility is their secret.
Duncan retiring is the first really big thing to happen to them in the negative.

Agreed. Stability from top down. Owner - GM - coach - star players. Plus good roster management

Hopefully DLo does come back on Monday like I'm reading. No coincidence the team slipped once he went out. Everybody can go back to their roles.
